A couple was watching a Discovery Channel
One evening, a married couple was watching a documentary about an African tribe whose men were said to have unusually long measurements.
According to the program, the men used an old tradition involving a string and a weight, hoping the process would gradually stretch things to an impressive length.
Later that night, as the husband stepped out of the shower, his wife remembered the documentary and smiled mischievously.
“Darling, why don’t we try that string-and-weight method ourselves?” she suggested.
After a little discussion, the husband agreed, and they decided to give their unusual experiment a try.
A few days later, his wife grew curious and asked, “So, how is our little experiment going?”
The husband looked thoughtful before replying, “Well, I’d say we’re about halfway there.”
His wife’s eyes widened with excitement.
“You mean you’ve already reached twelve inches?”
He shook his head and answered calmly:
“No… it’s turned black!”
His wife stared at him in disbelief, realizing that their little home experiment had produced a result neither of them had expected!
